Hi Irene,
ReplyDeleteThank you for the opportunity to tell Bill's story. I saw it posted. The world needs to know what "they" did to him. Deliberate acts, when he was too sick and helpness to prevent it. Knowing what my family has gone through for the last several years, I often feel a sense of panic in thinking who's next? I need to help stop it.
A friend told me she handed out 16 reality writing kits today. She took along a copy of your book I gave to her as a Christmas gift. The group was very interested, she said.
My daughter-in-law, a nurse, is handing out some to co-workers and elder centers, etc.
WE ARE JUST GETTING STARTED!!!!!!!!
Take care,
Dear Irene,
ReplyDeleteReceived your e-mail through the NASGA e-list. I’m in the middle of a court battle for my mother’s freedom today and hope to spend more time with your site soon. Thank you for a great-t-t-t-t resource!
Linda
Friends, an attorney who is a federal agent told me that having federal legislation deem the elderly as a special group of citizens--the way civil rights workers are--would qualify them for special protection
ReplyDeleteat federal level.
Perhaps, I am ill informed but I thought we are still protected to enjoy life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness?
Ditto, Irene. We see so much ugliness that we need to keep in mind those whose hearts are good. Thank you for sharing. I've ordered your book and can't wait to read it.
ReplyDeletePeace and good will to all!!!
